The scene could have come from a particularly dramatic episode of "The Good Wife. " In the felony trial of a man found with up to a pound of marijuana in his car, five police officers recounted how correct procedures were followed in the stop and ensuing search. Then the defense submitted a video of the encounter - which appeared to show the opposite. The furious judge threw out the evidence , prosecutors dropped the charges, and the defendant went free. Cook County Circuit Judge Catherine Haberkorn made her displeasure clear.

- The rules of business in Bogota in the 1990s reached far beyond balance sheets and profit margins. If you could afford an armored car, you bought one. If you had the means to move your family to Miami, you did. On weekend trips, you either returned to the city before dark to minimize the risk of kidnapping or you simply never left the city. Bogota back then was a capital besieged by kidnappings, occasional bomb blasts, warring drug lords and insurgency-fueled violence that had steadily made its way from Colombia's lush jungles to its biggest cities.

Most of those charged in the drug bust on the Jersey Shore were arrested on Thursday, said U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman, who added that the operation was conducted by the FBI and other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

A man pulled over for failing to yield to an ambulance had hundreds of bootleg DVDs in his car, according to police.

Originally published in the Chicago Tribune June 8, 1984 "Ghostbusters" is the movie that confirms Bill Murray as one of our funniest comic actors. He's funny doing absolutely nothing in this overblown, special-effects-filled, $25 million comedy about three ex-college professors trying to make a living by ridding New York City of supernatural spirits. In fact, more of Murray doing less would have made "Ghostbusters" an even funnier film than it is. Murray costars with Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis [who co-wrote the original script]

INDIANAPOLIS - General manager Phil Emery's experience drafting Bears defensive end-turned-linebacker Shea McClellin reinforced for him the importance of a prospect's versatility, he said Thursday. If Emery has that trait near the top of his checklist when he evaluates this year's class of defensive linemen, Minnesota defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman would be an intriguing option in the first round. “I tell coaches I play all the way from a zero technique all the way to a nine, just the fact that in college Coach (Jerry)

Warner Bros. and Lego look to be constructing a blockbuster brick by brick as the toy brand's first full-length feature film is building huge buzz before an opening weekend predicted to hit more than $40 million at the domestic box office. Though films and TV shows based on toys and boardgames have come under fire for weak storylines (ahem ... "Battleship"), " The Lego Movie " may turn that perception on its head with a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes -- a strong hook for unattached adults.

Incessantly, Jack from Scranton called the same time every day with the same question. I never knew Jack's last name, and never asked because it was hard enough to get the guy off the phone without encouraging his addiction. These were the days before the Internet, before social-media communicated every whim of teenage blue-chippers in the weeks leading up to the college football farce known as national signing day. Grown men obsessed with kids' choices in 1993 were left to piece together information by calling 1-900 recruiting services or bugging reporters who covered college football, which I was at the time for the South Bend Tribune.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Forty-five people were arrested and 16 juveniles rescued in a two-week crackdown on prostitution in the New York-New Jersey area leading up to last Sunday's Super Bowl, Federal Bureau of Investigation officials said on Tuesday. The bureau said some of those arrested claimed they traveled to the site because of the high-profile football game, which drew an estimated 400,000 visitors to the region. The minors rescued ranged in age from 13 to 17 and included high school students and children reported missing by their families, the FBI said.

Setoguchi busts out of slump, leads Jets to win WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- It's only fitting Devin Setoguchi donned an aviator's helmet when he faced the press Friday night. The Winnipeg Jets right winger was the man behind the controls, blasting out of a brutal scoring slump with a pair of goals to lift his squad to a 4-3 triumph over the Vancouver Canucks. Setoguchi fired his ninth and 10th goals of the year past Canucks goaltender Eddie Lack, the second coming off a tremendous cross-ice pass from blue-liner Jacob Trouba at 17:04 of the final period to snap a 3-3 tie and give the hosts a clean two points against their Western Conference rivals.
